I would understand if they were complaining in July, but in September? It's supposed to be a bit chilly. Why does everyone want a perpetual summer? I love the changing seasons... summer can be nice but I don't want summer in September.

First of all, I would prefer to receive answers from open minded people. No mocking is necessary. I am talking seriously, as I have come to believe that there is more truth in this "law of attraction" thing than I initially thought. If there are any of you who have managed to implement this unique manner of positive thinking into your lives, I would love to hear your stories and receive some tips.

Read Leviticus 20:13. This says gay people should be put to death.

That isn't to say that God did not have the death penalty for other sins in the time of Moses, but you have to remember that it was a different time. Moses led slaves who did not listen.

Jesus did come and change this so that we may be forgiven. The Lord so loved the world that he gave his only son, but it doesn't change the fact that being gay is deviant behavior.

Being gay is a sin and if we continue to act like it's nothing, then that only encourages them. They have a sickness. We need to reach out and help them.

Only we acknowledge the evil of their sins can we help them.

That isn't to say that we do not have evil sins too. We all deserve to burn but God loves us so he provides a plan to wash away our sins.

Everyone has sin, but it does not help people struggling with being gay if we sit back and do nothing. They need help.

Agree?

Jesus is not Michael the Archangel. The Bible nowhere identifies Jesus as Michael (or any other angel for that matter). Hebrews 1:5-8 draws a clear distinction between Jesus and the angels, “For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be His Father, and He will be my Son"? And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says, "Let all God's angels worship Him." In speaking of the angels He says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire." But about the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.” Angels worship Jesus. The angels are called sons of God (Genesis 6:2-4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7), but Jesus is THE Son of God (Hebrews 1:8; Matthew 4:3-6).

Does it shock you to know that many Muslims and Islamic leaders have been speaking out since day one against terrorism? Does it shock you to know not a single American news station has aired a single one of these?

"This resource of The American Muslim has received positive mention in the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University’s recently released report on internet-facilitated radicalization entitled: ”NETworked Radicalization: A Counter-Strategy”. It is also listed as a resource on many other sites, and the new logo has already been picked up by 15 sites. We hope that many more will do this, and that all the organizations working on related projects will be able to connect and work cooperatively.

One hand clapping cannot make enough noise to drown out the extremists, but all of us together can make enough noise to be heard around the world.

The Bible states that we should loan money with no expectations of getting it back. However, if you loan your child money almost every month, is it a sin to ask for some of the money? Ask but not insist, is that the way? EACH MONTH IT IS AGREED TO BE PAID BACK WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS. It is just so hard to say "no."

In Leviticus 20:13, it says a gay man should die if he is caught in a homosexual act.

BUT, it also prescribes the death penalty to all sin, which is what atheists REFUSE to acknowledge.

We all deserve death, but God was so loving that he decided to send his only son so that our sins could be washed away if we believed in him.

God is perfect and even though not everything that is done may seem to make sense to us now, it WILL be revealed to Christians when Jesus returns.

Christians do not follow the Old Testament. I do believe the death penalties were fair then but they are not now because it was a different time. You have to remember that Moses was dealing with slaves and they were ignorant so they had to have extreme consequences.

Everything bad you hear about God's word is nothing but verses taken out of context.

Agree?

LGBT individuals are often forced to remain silent, to marry and procreate as part of their culture. This results in many victims being left to deal with their situation alone.

K. Imagine this situation. You are in a relationship. Both of you are chatting with someone online, your BF/GF having known that person longer than you have, but both of you have never met up with the person.

You go hang out with your friends at their house and your partner goes out to a bar with their friends (ones that don't happen to like you and in turn you don't like them back because of that stupid reasoning). You didn't plan on going out anywhere else that night after hanging out with your friends at their house, but since your partner is out with his friends and you don't want to go back home yet since it's still early.

However, your friends that you're hanging out with don't want to go out. Earlier that evening, you were chatting up with that mutual online friend and talked about what you guys were doing for the night. You told them your plans and they told you their plans.

Now knowing your partner will be out late, you text/call that mutual online friend that neither ..

I have gone through the Koran to have an understanding of the muslim folks. But I haven't seen where the Koran say kill all non muslims or kill anyone who does not accept islam. As a matter of fact the holy prophet Mohammed encouraged everyone to keep their various faith as long as the are faithful the doctrine enshrined in their faith. So where are the fundamentalists, extremists and the various leaders of islamic terrorist organizations getting their propaganda from. Or don't the recruits read the Koran for themselves?

If they were a couple living on a council estate and she was a cleaner and he was a builder, for example, and Maddy went missing, do you think Richard Branson would have still dished out the money to help them with the fees? Or is it a case of upper class people sticking together? We have had a discussion about this at work and I just wondered what people's opinions were.
